Travala just asked me to prove source of funds for a $800 transaction blabla

Anyone else gone through this?

How can I share the smallest amount of info and minimal kyc, or is that it now?

I spoke to someone it happened to. It's not uncommon.

Yeah, a lot of platforms are getting stricter with this stuff now. If you do go ahead, I’d only share exactly what they ask for and nothing extra. Definitely worth asking them first what the absolute minimum documentation is for verification.

Looks like you are not the first one that happened to. Read a similar story here a few months ago. For the future looks like travala should be avoided at all costs.

I am not sure that there is such a thing as minimal kyc either they know your global state issued identity or they don't.
